Intelligent Multi-function Pressure Indicator nowavailable with multiple external sensors for costeffective remote monitoring.GE Druck announces the availability of a key new featurefor its "flagship"Multi-function Pressure Indicator DPI 145.By providing up to three external sensor channels, theDPI 145 now allows simultaneous centralised monitoringof three remote pressure measurement points. The needto dedicate a DPI 145 to each point of measurement istherefore removed, increasing operational flexibility andcost-effectiveness for a wide variety of industrialapplications.The DPI 145 is a high performance instrument, often used inworkshops and laboratories as a pressure reference withprecision to 0.025% of reading. Ranges are available from1 mbar up to 700 bar, with a wide choice of internal/externalsilicon pressure sensors also developed and manufacturedby the company. For example, this includes advanced resonantsilicon sensing technology which enables barometric/ambientpressure monitoring to within 0.15mbar.The high contrast, backlit graphics display offers a full six digitscaling, with a choice of 24 user selectable pressure units.Data processing functions include average/tare and max/minvalues, filtering, alarms, flow, leak and switch tests, interchannelmaths. Up to eight split-screen readouts can be configured forsimultaneous display of measured and processed data.The DPI 145 is simple to use with an intuitive menu-style softwarefor quick and easy operation. Various modes of operation areavailable, each with it's own dedicated list of menu functionsspecific to the required task. These include Indicator, Barometer,Leak Test, Switch Test, Instrument Set-Up and Data Logging/Printing. The instrument is also fully configurable and thereforeany input channel may be specified for all of modes of operation.Interfacing is simplified with a range of standard communicationsfor integration of the DPI 145 within user systems. This includesa user programmable analogue output (mA or volts) and serialdigital RS232 port. In addition, IEEE488 parallel digital isavailable as an option. Digital interfaces use SCPI protocol(Standard Commands For Programmable Instruments).Physically, the DPI 145 is a compact instrument with ruggedmembrane keypad and designed for convenient benchtop use.A rotating handle is fitted as standard, providing a comfortableviewing angle for the operator. For integrated system applications,the optional rackmounting kit provides a 3U high x 19inch wideunit for standard rack installation. ________________________________________________GE Druck Ltd.
